The cold and snow are on their way!
Although we enjoy rather mild winters here in Windsor – Essex County, being prepared for winter weather can help make your daily travels a little easier.
Here are 7 actions to take on your vehicle to ensure that it is winter ready:
- Have the battery tested and ensure connections are clean and corrosion free.
- Check that the heating system, including the front and rear window defrosters, are in good working order.
- Be sure your vehicle’s tire pressure and the tread depth are at the recommended levels.
- If there’s uneven wear on the tires, it’s time for a re-alignment and/or rotation.
- Check the entire brake system to ensure it's in good working order.
- Windshield wipers can dry out and crack in the summer sun, replace if necessary and change the washer fluid to a de-icing winter formula.
- Have the radiator flushed to remove contaminants and to safeguard that the cooling systems won't freeze up during the cold winter months.
